It would seem to be so!

"In Sunset Park, a predominantly Mexican and Chinese neighborhood in South Brooklyn, St. Jacobi’s Church was one of the go-to hubs for people who wanted to donate food, clothing, and warm blankets or volunteer help other New Yorkers who were still suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. On Saturday, Ethan Murphy, one of the people heading the kitchen operation, estimated they would prepare and send out 10,000 meals to people in need. Thousands and thousands of pounds of clothes were being sorted, labeled, and distributed, and valuable supplies like heaters and generators were being loaded up in cars to be taken out to the Rockaways, Staten Island and other places in need. However, this well-oiled operation wasn’t organized by the Red Cross, New York Cares, or some other well-established volunteer group. This massive effort was the handiwork of none other than Occupy Wall Street—the effort is known as Occupy Sandy."

This is great. OccupySandy is very important and 'occupied americans' should take heart but the Red Cross do very good work all over the world so it is not a question of 'one up'. The weather is getting cold, with many thousands in need of emergency housing so where is 'our' government btw? And don't expect the MSM to report anything that questions the corporations or their ownership of our country!

So true. And, no one is reporting on the big lies of the President of the Red Cross when she said that the bridges to Staten Island were impossible to cross. Big lie, because I crossed them the day following the storm to help my brother. I sailed across. Liars.

They got smacked awfully hard by the storm - but now when you consider Global warming climate change - it would be good to see recovery efforts fully address the needs of rising sea level and the upkick in major storms.
